Finchpaw felt his legs thump onto the ground as Finchwhisker whisked himself away.
He had missed.
Irritation flooded his pelt as he whipped his head around to watch Finchwhisker circle him.
Finchwhisker was bigger and faster then him; his best bet of landing a blow on him would have to be done as a form of surprise.
He narrowed his eyes in thought as he crouched down again, his ears pulled back.
If legs wouldn’t work then he would go for his back. Thinking back to the move he saw Rookpaw do the other day he shot forward.
Zipping towards the deputy he made a sharp right and then unexpectedly rolled back, aiming his legs to develop a high blow to Finchwhisker’s side.

{Sorry for the wait}
Apparently, Finchpaw did know quite a bit more than the average beginner. Finchwhisker hadn't anticipated his apprentice's next move, and it landed successfully. Of course, he rolled down and away, avoiding a serious blow, but Finchpaw could have the satisfaction of at least managing to land an attack.
That was all he needed to see. Clearly, observing other apprentices had done some good. "Decent work. I believe you're capable of skipping past some of the basic moves and getting into more advanced maneuvers." He didn't dwell on the praise for too long, not wanting Finchpaw to get too full of himself.
"Before we move on, however, we need to build up your defensive skills and reflexes. For this, I'll attack you, and I want you to try and dodge as best you can." Without a moment's hesitation, the dark tom lunged forward, making it look as though he was going for a head-on attack. But he suddenly changed directions, looping around to the side of Finchpaw and aiming to shove him down.
